Corey Hobbs, RD

I'm Corey Hobbs. As a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), my mission is to to provide busy dads with an effective system to get strong, reclaim their energy, and build a body they're proud of, all while navigating the demands of their careers and family life. We don’t rely on quick fixes, gimmicks, or fad diets - just time tested methods that have shown they work time and time again.

​

My journey began after nearly a decade deep in the world of Division 1 athletics, first as an athlete and then as a coach. I was hooked on the pursuit of elite performance and learned from the best what it takes to get real results. 

However, as a new father, I faced a hard truth: the nature of that world wasn't allowing me to show up as the best version of myself for my own family. I was usually gone by 4am and home at 9pm on game days. I’m driven to be the best coach possible, but my family only gets one husband and father. My time in the military taught me a valuable lesson: an organization will always move on, but a family doesn't have that luxury. That realization was a turning point.

​

The idea for The Forge was born from a simple observation on a drive home. My wife had her friends over – her girls' nights – a crucial way for her to connect and recharge. I realized that for all the teams I'd been on in my life, I no longer had that community to call my own. I knew other Dads must feel the same. So, if I couldn't find it, I had to create it: a place where Dads could find that same camaraderie, accountability, and collective drive to push each other to be better.

​

What can you expect when working with me? You can expect a system built for you, Dad. We build "Dadthletes." I take the same high-performance principles that forged elite athletes and adapt them for the real world of fatherhood. We focus on smart strength training, sustainable nutrition without extreme restrictions or training methods, and building habits that last. It's my job to do the thinking and planning so you can focus on executing and getting results. Community is our secret sauce; every dad who joins is supported by a brotherhood that gets it.

​

Ultimately, I found my purpose, and I'm pursuing it relentlessly. My mission is to help keep families together longer, healthier, and stronger by empowering fathers through health and longevity. You deserve to show up as the absolute best version of yourself – strong, capable, and confident. Your family deserves that too, and they want you around and thriving for a long, long time. That’s the mission we work towards every single day in The Forge.
